What a mystery this movie is! Reviews about it are rare. Finding out much about it online is hard. Few have heard of it.
But I think it's worth it. I found the plot a little slow at first; but now I think that's just because the writer wanted the story to fully develop at a pace that wasn't rushed. It's a good story line that keeps you engaged and even a little off-balance at times. Some unexpected twists! I thought the flashbacks were handled well. The acting is amazing a relatively low- budget production and I found myself being drawn deeper and deeper into the lives of the characters. They were just so "real". It ceased to be acting and it was quite easy to believe you were "a fly on the wall" in these very real people's lives. Bravo on new-comer Jake McLeod. It's a very heavy load he carries, a very emotional performance at times. But he handles it like a pro. Actually, all of the performances were very "natural" -- genuine and not at all forced as can happen in some lower-budget production. Some mature themes, but overall an enjoyable movie. The ending was an interesting touch; leaving one with a lot to think about long after the credits are over.
To say any more would rob you of the chance to fully enjoy this good movie for yourself.
